Chapter 816
“You’re right, Noah! You’ve regained your freedom, now that we’re divorced.“Gianna is still waiting for you to go back to her side.”…With that, she shut the car door with a bang, not caring if it might’ve slammed on his fingers in the process.The thought of Gwen brought tears to her eyes. She hated Noah’s guts. At the next moment, her white BMW rushed past him and crushed the jewelry box. He picked it up, brushed off the mangled pieces, and took the pink diamond ring out. The ring was fine, but it was no longer the same ring that fitted snugly on her finger. It was twisted out of shape. He stared at it quietly. His heart hurt more every time it throbbed.…A week later, he left the Sanders Group headquarters in the middle of the night. His once reputable company was facing bankruptcy. There was a stock halt. Noah mortgaged away nearly all of his properties and luxurious cars. That was the only way he could protect the company, even though it was a husk of its for
Chapter 817
The soup Gianna brought over was spilled on the lobby floor. Lowering his head, he looked at it for a while before he picked up the soup container and tossed it into the trash can by the door. He didn’t need a woman to take pity on him. After that, he kept drinking himself into a stupor. He’d call out to Gwynn once he woke up from it. Sometimes, he’d even dream about the moment when they met each other for the first time.This time, however, he woke up from his drunken stupor and saw Emma. She was wiping sweat from his forehead. Her head was lowered and she spoke softly, as she usually did. “You kept calling out to ‘Gwynn,’ Mr. Noah. Is she someone you love?”For a minute there, he wasn’t completely sobered up. After a brief moment, he said in a husky voice, “She’s my wife.”She got bold and asked, “Why don’t you go home, then?”He looked dazed when he heard the question. After a while, he pulled out a cigarette from his front pocket, lit it up, and smoked it leisurely.
Chapter 818
Noah didn’t manage to find his voice until after a brief moment. “Are you dating him?”Gwynn didn’t deny it. Nodding lightly, she said, “My family recommended him to me. We’ve just had dinner together.”After that, she took her coat from the sophisticated man and bade farewell to him. The man had a good idea who Noah was. However, he didn’t ask her about it. Instead, he took a step back with dignity and flashed her a faint smile. Clearly, he liked her enough to want to have another date with her. Then, Gwynn drove off in her white BMW.The man left too. Noah stood on the street in the dead of night. The neon lights and the escort standing next to him accentuated his misery and the fact that he had lost everything. That was right!The fact was that he had lost everything. He proceeded to dry heave by the roadside, his mind flooded with memories from a much simpler time. “I’ll go to Silvercrest with you, Noah.”“You can’t tell anyone that you’re my husband once we’

Gwynn didn’t quite catch what he said. In fact, she didn’t intend to pay any attention to anything he said. After all, why would she even bother herself with Noah’s explanation?He even made her feel sick before they got divorced. To make matters worse, he bought an escort service shortly after the divorce. Then, he thought it appropriate to barge into her house and intimidate her after she bumped into him with the young escort.Turning her head sideways, she said, “Let me go! Don’t make me look down on you even more.”She thought it was going to take more than that to persuade him, but he began to loosen his grip on her. Underneath the dim light, he stared at her fair, elegant face and fell into deep thought.What made him think he could make her his woman? He was on the cusp of bankruptcy and had lost everything. The Templetons could set her up with any man and he’d be a hundred times better than he was. At the next moment, he closed her sleeping gown slowly. He didn’t le

Both of them kissed for about a minute. Gwynn trembled slightly.Holding her slender waist, Grayson leaned on her shoulder and panted lightly. Then, he whispered something sweet and romantic in her ears. He loved her and was mesmerized by her sheer beauty.He was respectful of her.Both of them might’ve been married once, but he wanted to avoid making love to her until after they were married. He got into his car and left after he gave himself some time to calm down.…Noah was hiding somewhere in the dark with a cake in his hand. It was her favorite. He had it sent over by plane from Silvercrest just for her. He wanted to give it to her and see the look of surprise on her face. Little did he know she had just finished a date with another man. He watched as she got out of Grayson’s car. He also saw the expensive gown the man gave her. His gift was so pathetic in comparison. However, the cake was the only thing he could afford now. So, he merely stood in the dark quietl
Chapter 821
Gwynn turned her head sideways. Underneath the gentle moonlight, there were still tears in the corner of her eyes. It was Marisol. Marisol took off her scarf and put it on Gwynn. Then, she saw the cake and asked softly, “Is this from Noah?”Gwynn didn’t deny it. “Yeah.”Marisol sighed softly. She was Gwynn’s sister-in-law, but she was more like a mother to her. Sitting next to Gwynn, she held the latter’s shoulder and said gently, “I knew you were having a problem letting go of the past when Anders told me that things were moving slowly between you and Grayson!“Here’s the thing, Gwynn. All of us used to love someone with our heart and soul when we were young. He alone could sway our emotions. However, you’ll eventually grow and mature one day. That is when you’ll discover that what you really want is a relationship that makes you feel safe and at peace.”Gwynn was stunned. “Have you loved someone with your heart and soul as well, Marisol?”“Why, of course!“I married A
Chapter 822
Noah grabbed Brennan’s collar and hurled him against the wall across the room. The latter’s head started bleeding.Yanking his hair, Noah pinned his pretty face to the wall and said, “Have you forgotten about how you knelt before me and begged me to give you a chance? What’s the matter? Are you going to cast me aside, now that you’ve gotten what you wanted?”Brennan’s feet flailed helplessly. Noah was so terrifyingly violent. If he didn’t give his former benefactor something, then he might die right there and then. His face was smashed against the wall so hard that he had to strain to speak. “Ms. Courtney is going to be playing poker at the club at eight tomorrow.”Noah shoved him to the floor and flung the flash drive at him. Lying on the floor, he fell into deep thought. In the past, he had always thought he was a nobody before Noah. Now, however, it didn’t seem anything had changed. He was still a nobody!…The next day, Courtney won some money playing poker in the dead of
Chapter 823
Gladys looked at the new clothes and said, “Just the right size, Mr. Noah! Lorian’s going to be three years old soon and Holly is over a year old. She can walk a few steps now! The only thing is that she doesn’t like to talk. It’s a good thing Lorian loves playing with her.”At the next moment, the babysitter brought both of the kids over.The little boy dived into Noah’s arms. “Daddy!”Noah held his son’s little feet. A lump formed in his throat. It had been half a year since he last saw Lorian. His little boy had grown taller and tougher. He looked like a big boy now. Holly, on the other hand, had just learned how to walk. So, she was wobbling in her steps. Mimicking her brother, she dived at Noah’s legs, held them, and said, “Dada.” She repeated it several times in a row, surprising him slightly. After a brief moment, he reached out and carried her in his arms. The little girl was teething. Lowering her head, she nibbled on his arms. They were ripped and firm. She liked t
